60 – Drowning (8)

“What?”

It’s such a lie to tell as soon as you open your mouth. I frowned. I tapped my heart with my hand at an angle that the person behind me couldn’t see.

Morvais was contemplating the action, but he did not withdraw his opinion.

“Don’t do it! It’s really?! I wrote a letter !!”

Those who tell lies show certain behavior.

As the most basic characteristic, there is a delay in action.

Because you have to say something that contradicts your heart, you need to act behind your thoughts, not an immediate reaction.

Aside from that, awkward gaze handling, contradiction between remarks, excitement, etc.

If you tell a lie, something will show through.

“Well, what are you talking about! Didn’t you just say, I know the text of the letter!”

Lyla, now stepping forward, did just that.

Hiding, overlaying, and deceiving one’s feelings.

She lied that her heart resembled the cold, dark river beneath her bridge.

It precipitated her fears and made her cool and composure flow across her face.

But her sunken heart always expresses itself, so it was all obvious.

But Morbe is different now.

It’s just my intuition, but it felt that way.

“So what is the letter?!”

I am truly sorry.

“Everything, what are you talking about after you wrote it?! The letter you sent to Whirtrum two weeks ago! The devil who came by train is making the ground sink…”

“I said I knew that! When did I say I knew the letter!!”

“Yes?”

Morbe was indignant, like a scolded child, that she hadn’t done anything wrong.

It’s not common to see a witch who has been hurting others but suffering from her own.

If you don’t enjoy it at times like this, enjoy it when. It is truly a soothing sight.

I know she’s telling her truth, but she just waits and sees without correction.

Innis approached Morbe, who continued to cheat.

“What is the letter? What is it? What is it? Why did you send it to me! …Oops!”

“Are you kidding me?”

Then she lifted her foot and trembled at Morbe.

Even though her chains acted as her armor, the shock of her shock didn’t wear off, so Morbe let out the air that rose from her stomach.

“Several people have already been killed or injured because of the letter you sent. Being vigilant about the contents caused great damage to the city’s traffic, and if the contents are realized, countless damages will occur that are incomparable to the damage so far.”

Innis trampled on Morbe, speaking in an even more angry voice.

“But how dare you get away with it?!”

Morvey did not stop expressing her own resentment even as she sneezed at her.

“I really don’t know! I don’t know, I don’t know! I really don’t know!”

“This is real…!”

As Inis put her foot up once more, Lyla stopped her.

He put her arm between her armpits and held her back, restraining her from continuing Ennis’ violent behavior.

“Wait a minute, Innis! You’re so excited!”

“This isn’t another case, it’s a demon case! This b*tch did the f*ck first! Don’t stop Mr. Layla!”

No matter how hard she was, Lila, who tried to back down while holding her, was rather dragged away, as if she couldn’t win with her strength against the police officer who was running her field work.

You are suffering in many ways today, Laila.

Innis didn’t stop her assault on Morve, even while wearing her gizzard, which was her lila.

You said earlier that you shouldn’t torture, but this is something else.

I told you to go humanely.

Well, keeping that b*tch alive is the most humane act of all.

I tried to communicate with something that doesn’t look like a human being, but if this isn’t humane, then what is humane?

“Ah. Oh wait. Wait! I got hit! It hurts!”

“Who is your sister!”

The only thing that calms anger is greater anger.

It was Innis’ warm kicking that calmed Morbe’s irritation.

At the right discipline, reasonable and intelligent, Morbe naturally took a humble attitude.

“Kieek! Don’t do this!”

She showed her respect for Innis by even saying her honorifics, which she hadn’t said before.

“Mr. Innis! Mr. Innis please! Calm down!”

Layla was stumped by such Innis and worked hard to get her to step back.

Whether or not she knew the hardships of her juniors, Lilia only watched Innis’ runaway with satisfaction.

After I stepped right next to Lilia, she watched Innis happily.

“Search! Just search!”

“You can’t die?! We haven’t heard anything yet!”

Lilia tapped my arm, and she whispered softly.

“Don’t tell me you’re the devil?”

“It will happen even if you don’t tell me.”

You say that I’m crazy.

If Innis found out, wouldn’t I be beaten like that?

As for Innis, the past is the past, so he tends to turn a blind eye to demon-related incidents and human casualties.

Since this is the case with both of those cases, you probably won’t like Morbe’s attitude.

Looking down for a moment,

She was staring at me eagerly with her eyes contorted by Morve for her help. I averted my eyes and ignored that gaze.

If you feel unfair, do you reveal everything you know?

“Ah! Aah! What can I do with something I really don’t know!”

Morve just repeated the same sound as before.

“Ugh! The devil came on the train! Go! Ugh! Land under the river! Ro! Ugh! The sentence that sinks! Geak!”

Innis just trampled on her coldly, silently.

“It’s an incantation in and of itself! As a blood mage, I might know! My sister!”

He hesitated.

It was only then that Innis’ kicking stopped.

“…What?”

“heheheh.. Eheh… Are you feeling better now?”

Lila was more exhausted than any of them, gasping for her breath. She, too, listened to Morbe’s words.

“I don’t know what it is, but the sentence in that letter was written in blood? Then that’s a type of blood magic magic! A spell that makes the space where the sentence is activated in a state where demons are easily entangled!”

The noisy secret room until now became quiet like a lie.

A heavy silence, a silence made for a reason more painful than violence, sank heavily.

“A sorcery to seduce a demon that may come at any time by mentioning the specific appearance and behavior of the demon! Except for that, there is no secret of the sentence that I know!”

The secret of the statement that made us think that Morbe was the culprit, and that he knew the sentence, was revealed like this.

Since the sentence itself was already something magical, Morve knew about it.

“Wait! Then who sent the letter?”

“Neither do I know!”

“How to break the spell?”

“Where is that! It’s already been triggered? This isn’t a rolling stone. It’s already been rolled and landed! All you can stop is a pile of dust that will rise!”

Innis’ complexion gradually darkened.

Unlike the cold snow that had settled under the bridge earlier, a wet coldness like soil soaked in rain permeated her complexion.

He probably thought he had caught the culprit.

Moreover, there must have been joy that the case was now much closer to being resolved.

Above all, the expectation was that there would be no more casualties.

But now, with one word from her, all those expectations were shattered.

“If you’re lying…”

“Does it really look like that? If that’s the case, you’re not usually stubborn, too!”

“Damn it…!”

Innis kicked her floor nervously and turned away from Morve.

Inis’ shoulders drooped as she walked this way.

I patted her on the shoulder a couple of times and conveyed her comfort.

“…Thank you.”

Innis smiled weakly and caressed my hand.

As the size of her expectations increases, the weight of disappointment when it breaks increases.

When the raised flag is broken, what we see is not just the flagpole, but the faces of everyone gathered under it.

We must face up to the fact that the soldier called hope has become a corpse.

But that’s just a disappointment. Not a defeat

I was staggered for a moment, only exhausted, and I hadn’t fallen down or died yet.

It’s not over yet. The ending remains.

Well, it won’t be once or twice that expectations have been broken, so I’ll be able to shake it off well.

At least Innis can do that.

I approached Morbe again. She smiled and muttered so much that only I could hear.

“Did I do a good job? I’ve said this enough? Then release me now! And don’t die!”

Of course, but I can’t let go. Of course I won’t die, and, of course, I still have something to hear from Morbe.

“Hey.”

I spoke in a low, nervous tone so that even the people behind me could hear it.

“Has the demon twisted by that letter already arrived?”

Morbe chuckled at those words. Then she stared at me with those eerie bloody eyes.

“What is it? Are you worried about that? It’s cute!”

“Keep your mouth shut and answer questions.”

Morve rolled her eyeballs, and she fixed her gaze on me again.

“I don’t know!”

“Okay I heard you. Shut up now.”

I put the gag back on.

“Aww!!!”

I heard her disgruntled chirping again. It’s a noise you’ll get used to by now, so I moderately ignored it.

“Ehh…”

I sighed deeply.

By consuming energy with open eyes, I tried to dig up information in the field of crazy b*tches, but it was no different than getting nothing.

The only harvest I got was this damn necromancer who has little to do with this incident.

And the fact that the letter itself was actually witchcraft.

Dawn when the long, long night is dying from the sun.

I had to agonize for the peace of the river, breathing vainly under the ground.

**

“Ouch!”

When the ointment touched Innis’ immaculate feet, she let out a sharp, fragmented exclamation.

Actually, it wasn’t even white. The top of her foot was swollen, and her big toe was torn and bleeding red.

“Be careful with that…”

“Ehehehe, next time I’ll restrain myself.”

“Do you really have to do that? Just like today, I just kick anywhere and think of her.”

There are things to wear, but you can’t wear dirty things like that. Support Evie.

The result of Innis not being able to control her anger and spending her energy on that trivial thing turned red like this.

“Ouch! Please be gentle with me…”

“This is enough for a kid like you. Okay, this is it.”

I finished first aid for Innis, pressing down on the bandage.

“It’s naughty…But, thank you.”

“Come.”

Innis bent his knees and pulled his foot to herself. Her feet, dragging her white bed sheet, soon stopped near her thighs and squirmed.

Ennis hugged her own lap, leaning her chin on her lap and staring at me.

“Eva, wasn’t I a little violent today?”

“That’s right.”

“…Wasn’t it scary?”

“Hi-go.”

I laughed out loud. There’s nothing else to be afraid of.

Of course, I was scared at one time. But I couldn’t help it because of the trauma imprinted on my body, and now that I’ve overcome it, it’s as if I didn’t exist.

“The person who burned my body is afraid of everything.”

“! That, that… I’m sorry. I’ll give you my life, my all, to apologize.”

“That statement scares me the most, dude. It’s a joke. Don’t take it seriously.”

I laughed and got up.

“I don’t have to be afraid of you anymore. Rather, you should be afraid of me.”

“Puhu, why am I afraid of Iba?”

Innis murmured softly, caressing the band-aid on her foot.

Her eyes, framed by her rich blonde hair, resembled apples hanging from a golden tree.

“I know you’re so kind…”

If you do, I will be grateful. The only thing I’m happy to receive is the goodwill of the right kind.

Hate, fear, and heavy interest are just poison, so I don’t want to swallow them.

“You’re sleeping a bit. I’ll keep an eye on Morbe.”

I patted her on the head a few times and tried to move her feet back to Morve to go back to her basement where she was.

If Ennis hadn’t grabbed my collar, I probably would have.

Innis timidly tugged at my shirt, blocking my movement.

“That… Iba. You know…”

Her When I looked at her, her Inis avoided her gaze and was restless.

“Why? You’re not saying you’re scared of sleeping alone, are you?”

“My, I’m not a kid, so there’s no way I could be! No, that’s not what… Actually… Uh, yeah.”

Innis looked at me with her moist eyes.

She licked her slightly dry lips with her tongue and let out a heated breath.

“That… Joe, aren’t you sleepy?”

The temptation of clumsiness was even more direct because of clumsiness.
